inside of the clamping member A, and Fig. 4 is a like view of the clamping member K.

The upper surface of said clamping jaw is provided with serrations E and is apertured at F for the reception of the bolt G upon which awinged nut H is mounted. The other jaw, designated by letter K. has a contracted extension K adapted to conform to and engage the contraction upon the other jaw and is held from lateral movement by said flange. 'l[he jaw K is provided with a socket N for the'reception of the handle 0 and has a slotted recess R upon its clamping face adapted for the reception'of the head of said bolt. Said clamping face is provided with transverse serrations C, cooperating with the serrations upon the other jaw to hold the scraping member 'l.

It will be noted that the space intermediate the socket member and the projecting portion of the jaw K is concaved as at Q, and adapted to receive the thumb of an operator holding-the device.
